I think I need to check the temp of my smoker. Put a 9.5lb prime rib in at 10AM and it was up to 134° by 2pm..............I was beside myself!! Well, I noticed by 1:00 or so when I put my (sterilized) probe in that it was already about 118°. At that point I turned the smoker down to 180° then about 15 minutes later after I found that it was still climbing too quickly, I turned it down again to 150°. It continued to climb and I could not believe it was up to 134° by just after 2pm. So I brought it in, foiled it and wrapped it in two towels. It soared up to 141° (perfection IMO) and now it's 4pm and it's still wrapped and holding 140°. Should still be warm in an hour or so when we go to eat. I have to figure this out to better estimate my cooking time. The last one I did was probably half the size of this one and it went pretty quick too but I figured since this one was bigger it would take a fair bit longer.
